While the most unfiltered view of the NBA finals is definitely from your couch at home (as LeBron James accidentally showed us last night), celebs are still vying for courtside seats. Here are some of your favorite stars who have been spotted at the series.

1. Kanye West: The 38-year-old Grammy winner is good friends with LeBron James, so he may be rooting for the Cleveland Cavaliers, despite the fact that they eliminated his Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference semifinals. People inside the arena for Game 4 told ET that there was an awkward moment when Kanye was shown on the jumbotron followed immediately by his ex Amber Rose, who was also in attendance.

2. Rihanna: The "B*tch Better Have My Money" singer seems to be rooting for the Cavs after posting a video message for LeBron before boarding an airplane, saying "LeBron, here we come, baby!" It's been reported that Rihanna was heard screaming LeBron's name outside of the Cavs' locker room after Game 1 in Oakland.

4. Carlos Santana & Cindy Blackman Santana: The 10-time Grammy winner and his wife performed the National Anthem before Game 2 in Oakland. The couple could be on different sides of the fence with regard to the series as Carlos' career took off in the Bay Area and Cindy is from Ohio.
